The Horton Society

The Horton Society was conceived by Trudier Harris in the Spring of 1996 as a way to encourage sustained scholarly focus on the works of African-American poets and to foster presentation and publishing opportunities for that scholarship. The Horton society is an affiliate organization of the American Literature Association and held its inaugural meeting at the annual meeting of the association in May of 1997.
